Copy-And-Paste For Recruiting

Copy-and-paste is a powerful tool for messages. Whether in chat, on the team page message forum, or on another profile in the process of recruiting, this can be the only way one consistently provides the message one intends to provide. There are a couple of things to know, before you start, however:

1) The different areas in which one might post vary as to treatment of Word format, rich text, and text, but ALL of them do strange things to special characters that Word and rtf embed. Only text is apparently universal among them.

2) That means, that even if you use Word, or WordPad, to compose your message, it is not a good idea to simply save that, and begin to copy it onto IWON. The necessary extra step is to first "save as" .txt - then THAT file can be the source of the copy before the paste.
